NOTE

13192 EVK Boards are no longer supported by the

current BeeKit codebases but the boards can still be

used with ZeD if customers still have older versions

of the HCS08 BeeStack codebases.

System Overview

The Freescale ZigBee environment Demonstration (ZeD) is a set of

software components designed to visualize, monitor, and demonstrate

how a ZigBee network functions. ZeD functions are closely tied to the

capabilities of the Freescale BeeStack and the Freescale BeeKit Wireless

Connectivity Toolkit to offer an intuitive view of how a ZigBee network

is formed and how that network operates. ZeD also allows users to see

how Home Automation Profile applications operate on the ZigBee layer

while these applications perform various functions.

By demonstrating ZigBee network configurations and functionality, ZeD

can be used as a first step in understanding what ZigBee can do and

shows how to begin developing applications for it. ZeD also offers

insight as to how an end-user might interface with a ZigBee network.

ZeD supports the ZigBee 2006 and ZigBee 2007 (ZigBee Feature Set -

Stack Profile 1) standards as implemented in the Freescale BeeStack and

the Home Automation Profile for ZigBee applications. ZigBee standards

and the Home Automation Profile are defined by the ZigBee Alliance.

See www.zigbee.org for more details. As part of the BeeKit Wireless

Connectivity Toolkit, ZeD operates with the other BeeKit components to

offer a comprehensive and easy to use platform for ZigBee development.

Hardware and Software Requirements

The following is a list of the minimum software and hardware

requirements required by ZeD as shown in this guide:

• A PC running Microsoft Windows XP®, Microsoft Windows Vista®

or Microsoft Windows 2000®

• BeeKit with ZeD installation package provided with a ZigBee EVK or

downloaded from the Freescale web site at www.freescale.com/zigbee

• The Freescale ZigBee evaluation boards that ship with the

13192-EVK, 1321x-EVK, or 1322x-EVK.

• 1 USB cable to connect the Combined Interface board to the PC.

• Twelve AA or four 9-Volt or twelve AA and four AAA batteries for the

boards depending on the EVK type used.

ZeD Installation

ZeD is designed for use with the Freescale ZigBee evaluation boards

shipped with the Freescale 13192-EVK (EVB and SARD), 1321x-EVK

(NCB and SRB) and 1322x-EVK (Network Node (NN), Sensor Node

(SN) and Low Power Node (LPN)).

NOTE

If using the onboard AA battery pack to power the

SRB and the temperature sensor is being used, the

readings will not be accurate. To obtain more

accurate readings, power the SRB through its on

board DC power connector.

ZeD software consists of the following two components:

• Embedded software running on the physical evaluation boards. Each

board runs a ZigBee Home Automation Application which runs on top

of the Freescale BeeStack

• ZeD Windows GUI software running on a PC that allows users to see

the state of the network and the functions performed by the embedded

applications as these applications communicate over the air using

ZigBee

When installing Freescale BeeKit with ZeD, both software components

are deployed to the system. The ZeD embedded software consists of

embedded image files used to program the boards. The embedded image

files are located in the ZeD installation folder on the PC.

Software Requirements

Before installing ZeD, ensure that the following items are in place. ZeD

will not function if these requirements are not met.

• A PC running Microsoft Windows XP

, Microsoft Windows Vista

Microsoft Windows 2000

• The Freescale ZigBee evaluation boards that come with the

13192-EVK, 1321x-EVK, 1322x-EVK. At a minimum, one of the

boards must be configured as the ZigBee Coordinator running the

Combined Interface application. The other boards are needed to

demonstrate ZigBee networks and Home Automation “over the air”

functionality.

The boards in the EVKs come pre-programmed with the ZigBee

applications supported by ZeD. However, if the original software is

overwritten, or users intend to try custom board configurations, the

boards will have to be reprogrammed. See Downloading an Embedded

Image File (HCS08), Downloading an Embedded Image File (ARM7)

and the ZeD Embedded Software User’s Guide (ZEDESWUG) for more

details on how to configure and program a board.

The following items are required to reprogram the boards using the ZeD

embedded software image files for the HCS08 platforms (13192-EVK,

1321x-EVK):

• The BDM Support kit including the USB HCS08/HCS12 Multilink

BDM from P&E Microcomputer Systems, Inc

• The BDM Software provided with the BeeKit Wireless Connectivity

ToolKit

To reprogram the boards using the ZeD embedded software image files

for the ARM7 platforms (1322x-EVK) one of the following items are

required:

• J-Link JTAG Debugger and programming tools available in IAR

Embedded Workbench IDE

• MC1322x Firmware Loader available in Freescale Test Tool 11.0.0

and later

If users intend to customize the existing applications or develop their own

ZigBee applications, they will also need the following items:

• The Freescale BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit with a license for

Freescale BeeStack development. Refer to the BeeKit Wireless

Connectivity ToolKit User’s Guide for details on how to install and use

BeeKit

• The Freescale CodeWarrior Development Studio for Freescale

HC(S)08 Microcontrollers, Version 6.1 Special Edition (Full License)

(Requires 60K upgrade for 802.15.4 and BeeStack) or later for the

HCS08 platforms.

• IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, Version 5.20 or later (Requires

256K Edition)

Installing on the PC

ZeD is installed by default with the BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit

software. To install ZeD, make sure that while installing BeeKit, the ZeD

component check box is selected as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Selecting ZeD to be Installed in the BeeKit Installer

Refer to the BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit Quick Start Guide for

details on how to use the BeeKit installer.

By default, the installation program copies the ZeD software to the PC

hard drive in the following folder location:

Program Files\Freescale\ZeD v.v.v

The installation program also creates shortcuts to the ZeD PC GUI and

the embedded image file folder in the following Windows Start Menu

location:

Start -> Programs -> Freescale BeeKit -> ZeD v.v.v -> Freescale ZeD

v.v.v

The installation program can also place a shortcut to the ZeD application

on the PC desktop. In the above path examples, v.v.v designates a 3-digit

version number, for example, 1.1.0.

Forming a Network and Starting ZeD

This section provides the steps required to form a ZigBee network using

the evaluation boards running the Freescale BeeStack and the ZigBee

Running ZeD

To run ZeD, perform the following tasks.

1. Start ZeD from the Windows Start Menu at:

Start-> Programs-> Freescale BeeKit-> ZeD v.v.v-> Freescale ZeD v.v.v

or by using the Freescale ZeD application shortcut on the Windows

desktop.

2. If ZeD is started for the first time, it displays a short introduction

message on how to connect the Combined Interface board (ZigBee

Coordinator) to the PC as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. ZeD Getting Started Message

3. After pressing the Next>> button, ZeD tries to automatically detect the

COM port that corresponds to the Combined Interface board serving

as the ZigBee Coordinator. Figure 3 shows the ZeD window as it tries

to autodetect the Combined Interface board.

Figure 3. Automatic Detection of the ZigBee Coordinator Port

4. If the Combined Interface board is detected, the board port is displayed

in the list as having the type “ZigBee Coordinator (Autodetected)” as

shown in the Coordinator Selection window (Figure 4).

Figure 4. ZigBee Coordinator Selection Dialog

If no port appears in the list, or the first port in the list has the type “ZigBee

Device” and not “ZigBee Coordinator (Autodetected)”, then ZeD has not

been able to detect the coordinator board. If this occurs, check for the

following:

— The board is properly connected via the USB cable to the PC and that

the board drivers are correctly installed. See the ZeD Software User’s

Guide for a detailed description of virtual board ports and how they are

assigned.

— The ZigBee network is formed on the Combined Interface coordinator

board. LED1 and LED2 on the boards are on when the network is

properly formed.

— There are no other instances of ZeD running on the PC.

— The port of the coordinator is not in use by other software such as

Freescale Test Tool.

After checking these items, press the Autodetect button on the Coordinator

Selection Window to repeat the Coordinator autodetection process.

5. Ensure that the COM port of the ZigBee Coordinator is highlighted

and click the OK button. This launches the ZeD main window as

shown in Figure 5. ZeD connects to the ZigBee Coordinator and uses

it as a gateway to find out information about the other nodes in the

network. Users should wait until this network scan process is over and

the “Detecting Bindings. Please Wait...” pop-up window disappears.
